Received it yesterday from Bladeops.com. Good seller BTW.
Action: Excellent. smooth, very firm lockup, no blade play at all, just like my PM2 and PM.
Fit and finish: Good. Centered blade. Very nice blade finish. Very sharp. The grind is slightly off center, but I'll fix that myself. The thumb bar for the compression lock looks fine, but upon close examination has visible tooling marks compared to the bars of my PM2 and PM. Also, I would have preferred the Spyderco logo to be a little closer to the thumbhole, which it is on my other Spydercos.
Ergonomics: Very good. I'm full on committed to Spydercos finger choil knives. I won't even buy Spydercos or other brands without finger choil because using the choil is second nature and I'll probably plant my finger on the blade edge out of habit of using a choil. In the hand it feels very good. Not quite the excellent ergos of the PM2, but very close.
Misc: A deep carry clip will slight occlude the lanyard hole, but the lanyard hole is oversized so this shouldn't prevent use of both a deep carry clip and a lanyard. I don't use a lanyard on any folding knife. The deep carry clip in the picture was purchased for a delica (that I never ended up getting - see statement above on spydies without finger choil).
Value: Definately a high return on investment at $120 shipped. Looking forward to the sprints and limited runs.
